kudos for saying trump is much worse than biden.
On the eviction moratorium, biden says he was told it was close constitutionally. Which is pretty much the definition of a gray area. I think you are exaggerating how clear cut that was. From what I can tell, this is how the system is supposed to work. If there is a gray area, you rely on courts to make the final thumbs up and thumbs down. Which the Biden Admin did. Not a problem.
But sure, I'll say that congress should do this kind of work, not the exec branch.
Forbes:
Asked by reporters at the White House if he believes the moratorium is constitutional, Biden replied, “I think it is,” though he added that he “can’t guarantee” the Supreme Court won’t strike it down.
Biden said he consulted with constitutional scholars and that there was a “split,” but that the consensus of the scholars he has consulted the most was, “‘We think you have the authority... but, in this court, who knows?’"
One of the scholars who spurred the administration’s reversal from doubting the legality of extending the moratorium last week to issuing a new one on Friday was Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe, who has been vocal in his belief about its constitutionality, according to the Washington Post.
